Aka: John Jacob Bowman. "According to "Henry Watkins of Henrico
County, Virginia" (1985) by Jane McMurtrie Allen, John Jacob
Bowman is listed as a son of George and Mary (Hite) Bowman, was
born on 2 Dec 1733 and married Hazel Greenlee.

However, according to "Section III, Some Family Charts," of a
paper at the Filson Club (929.2 H675B), entitled "Hite and
Bowman Families," dated 25 Oct 1965, by Rev. Joseph J. Bowman,
1101 Floyd Street, Lynchburg, Va., "Jacob Bowman was the son of
George Bowman and Mary Hite. He was born Dec. 2, 1733 and raised
on Cedar Creek, near Strassburg, Virginia. There are traditions
and confusing evidence that he married Grizel Greenlee. This has
not been proven nor disproven.

It is known that he married Sarah Stephens, daughter of Lawrence
Stephens. This Lawrence was a son of Peter Stephens. Jacob
Bowman and his wife Sarah Stephens Bowman moved to the State of
South Carolina and resided on District 96, their home being on
Reedy River. Tradition states that he was killed in the Battle
at Ramsours Mill on June 20, 1780. There are statements that
lead one to think that he was a Tory, however there are Indents
on record showing that both Jacob and his wife provided food
stuff for men and animals to the State of South Carolina.""

Walthall County, located in southwest Mississippi, was created
from the eastern portion of Pike County and western portion of
Marion County in 1910. Tylertown is the county seat with the
towns of Lexie, Mesa and Darbun located within its borders.1

Among today's Walthall County residents are many descendants of
the pioneer Pike County and Marion County families. Those
researching Walthall County families will need to focus their
pre-1910 research in either Pike County or Marion County.
